Not too "Shabby"

Let me first start by apologizing for NO before pictures! I didn’t even think about it! I bought the desk and chair at Goodwill for $20.95 it was painted a yellow color, the chair had broken caning, I took it to my Papa and he made a whole new seat! I spent several days {sneaking in work time when I could} sanded and painted it white, followed by more sanding and then Ralph Lauren Tea Stain. End result a desk and chair I LOVE!

The following month I picked up these empty frames they were a lovely 70’s gold tone, nothing a can of white spray paint couldn’t cure. Followed by Ralph Lauren Tea Stain. I then cut cardboard to fit the back and covered it with my favorite toile fabric! Instant inspiration boards the cost $2.00 a frame… End result Inspiration that really inspires ME!

Then the jackpot of all jackpots! My husband, Spike went to work and came home with a already “shabbied” hutch he found on craigslist…. The cost $30.00! He called on his drive home and said how bad the traffic was and that he was late getting out of work {all normal things mind you}, so I never thought anything of it…. Turns out that sweet hunk of a man was picking up a hutch {which by the way I never asked for, this is something he saw and thought I would like}… He was RIGHT! What a guy! I was thrilled when he got home and said, “hey come give me a hand with something”….. End result…. a VERY HAPPY wife!
